PowerStop Z17 Front Ceramic Brake Pads 17-1363 — Low-Dust, Quiet OE-Style Replacement with Hardware

PowerStop Z17 Replacement Ceramic Brake Pads (front) deliver quiet, low-dust, OE-style stopping power with included stainless-steel installation hardware for a true bolt-on upgrade.

These Z17 Evolution ceramic front brake pads from PowerStop replace original-equipment pads with a focus on everyday drivability, reduced brake dust, and a straightforward DIY installation. The set contains two ceramic pads and premium stainless-steel hardware so you can swap pads quickly without additional parts. Designed as a step up from basic OE replacements, Z17 pads balance noise control, consistent stopping, and wheel cleanliness for trucks and SUVs listed in the fitment data.

How do Z17 pads improve braking for daily driving?

Z17 ceramic pads are engineered to behave like OE-style components while offering cleaner wheels and quieter operation. Their compound and geometry help provide predictable pedal feel and consistent braking across routine driving conditions.

• Thermally scorched pad face for faster, controlled break-in
• Chamfered and slotted surfaces to reduce vibration and noise
• Low-dust ceramic formula to minimize wheel soiling
• Rubberized multi-layer shims for quieter engagement

What comes in the box and is installation difficult?

The package includes two front Z17 ceramic brake pads plus stainless-steel installation hardware—everything needed for a standard pad replacement. No modifications are required; this is a bolt-on replacement intended for competent DIYers or professional installers.

• Complete front pad set (2 pads) matched for listed vehicle fitments
• Premium stainless-steel clips and hardware for secure mounting
• Designed to use factory calipers and brackets without alteration
• Quick break-in and consistent performance after initial bedding

Will these pads reduce brake noise and dust compared to stock pads?

Yes. The Z17 ceramic formulation and rubberized shim package are chosen to limit squeal and reduce particulate generation versus many semi-metallic or worn OE pads. While no pad is silent in every condition, these are optimized for quieter operation and cleaner wheels under normal use.

• Multi-layer rubberized shims dampen vibration that causes squeal
• Slotted and chamfered design helps control dust dispersal patterns
• Ceramic construction produces less visible residue on wheels
• Engineered for consistent engagement to limit noisy grab or chatter

Who is this for? Drivers who want a dependable, OE-style ceramic replacement that improves wheel cleanliness and reduces noise without changing calipers or brake hardware. The PowerStop Z17 front pad set is suited for owners of compatible Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC trucks and SUVs who prefer a straightforward, reliable upgrade for everyday driving. Consider professional installation if you’re not experienced with brake service, and always confirm fitment for your exact model and year before purchase.

Fitment note: Confirm your vehicle compatibility using the fitment guide. This pad set is listed for many 2006–2020 Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC front applications; exceptions apply for some 6-piston calipers and police-equipped models.
